KINGSTON PETTY SESSIONS.
THE THAMES FISHERY - IMPORTANT DECISION.

John Stokes, Thomas Dear, and John Armitage, three fishermen, appeared before the bench to answer an information framed under an act of the 30th Geo.II., charging them with unlawfully obstructing Thomas Webb, a duly appointed water bailiff, in the execution of his duty, in the parish of Richmond, whereby they had incurred penalties amounting to �30.
Mr. Guy, the solicitor to the Association of Fishermen, attended on behalf of the defendants. The proceedings appeared to create a great deal of interest, and the court was crowded during the hearing of the informations.
Thomas Melbourne was called, and stated that he was a water bailiff; but Mr. Guy objected to his being further examined, until he produced his appointment to the office; and upon it being handed in, he submitted that there should be some proof of its authenticity.
The Bench said it bore the city seal, and purported to be signed by Sir Chapman Marshall, and they thought that was sufficient.
The witness than proceeded to state that he was in company with Webb and Purdoe, two other water bailiffs, on the night of the 19th of January, about twelve o'clock, and they saw the defendants in a fishing boat, near Isleworth Ferry, and they rowed up to them, and Webb and Purdoe got into their boat, and insisted on searching the well, but the defendants resisted them, and declared they should not do so unless they were better men than they were. After some time Webb and Purdoe got back into their own boat, and followed the defendants for two hours, and, at length, finding the defendants determined to prevent them from searching the boat, they were obliged to leave them.
On being cross-examined, the witness admitted that they did not see any fish, neither did they see the defendants use any arts or endeavour to take the fish. It also appeared that they were entitled to a reward of �3. 3s from the Thames Angling Preservation Society upon any conviction.
Mr. Guy then addressed the bench on behalf of the defendants, and said that this was a very important case, and he hoped he should be able to satisfy the bench that the present information could not be sustained. He submitted, that under the act in question, the bailiffs had no right to enter any boat unless it was shown that fishing was actually going on, or that the parties therein were endeavouring to take fish; and that in the absence of such evidence, they had no right to search a fisherman's boat, but were committing a trespass in so doing. He contended that they had no more right to enter the defendant's boat upon the occasion in question, than they had to go into that of a gentleman's. The law, he submitted, was quite sufficiently severe against that impoverished class, the Thames fishermen, without recourse being had to such arbitrary proceedings as the present.
The Bench then deliberated for a short time, when
The Chairman said, that the magistrates were unanimously of opinion that the information must be dismissed.

HER MAJESTY'S MARRIAGE.

It is most gratifying to observe the general determination that her Majesty's nuptials on Monday next should be celebrated by the inhabitants of the towns of Windsor and Eton, in the most joyous manner. Independent of the address from the inhabitants of Windsor to her Majesty, which we noticed last week, it will be seen by reports in our present number, that the town-council of the borough, the inhabitants of Eton, and the college of Eton, have resolved to present congratulatory addresses to the royal pair. Another meeting of the inhabitants of Windsor will be held in the Town-hall on Tuesday, to agree to an address to his Royal Highness Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, to congratulate him on his safe arrival on our happy shores, to assure him of the joy we participate with him on his marriage with our beloved sovereign lady the Queen, and to offer the homage of our humble, but sincere and hearty welcome to our native land.
The several committees of the two towns have been, during this week, actively engaged in making the necessary arrangements for carrying out the wishes of the inhabitants to relieve the poorer classes on the festive day, and we are happy to say that the subscriptions are very considerable for that purpose. The fund subscribed in Windsor for the amounts to upwards of �300, which will enable the committee to afford provision of various kinds to above 4,000 persons, and the arrangements have been made, that each poor family, without regard to age, will, for each of its members, receive meat to the value of 10 1/2d, bread 5 1/4d, and beer 1d, equal to 1s 4 3/4d for each man, woman, and child. It will be seen on reference to the subscription list in our advertising columns, our respected Members John Ramsbottom, Esq. and Robert Gordon, Esq., have contributed to this fund very liberally, and in addition the committee had the gratifying assurance from the latter honourable gentleman, that if, on the winding up of the accounts there should appear a deficiency, he would gladly add a further sum. The same offer was made by one or two other subscribers. In Eton, the sum collected has been upwards of �100, which will enable the committee to allow each adult meat, bread, beer, and coals, to the amount of 3s, and an addition in proportion to their families.
The most active preparations are being made in Windsor and Eton, for a general illumination, which will, it is expected, be on an unusually extensive scale. The Conducts of the College are likewise preparing for a splendid display.
The two members for the borough will honor the company at the public dinner at the Town-hall on Monday, with their presence. Several of the heads of Eton College will also be present at the public dinner at Eton on that day. Other public dinners at some of the Inns were fixed to take place also on Monday, but we are glad to find that it has been deemed prudent to postpone them until the following day, so as not to interfere with the two principal ones fixed for Windsor and Eton in pursuance of the resolutions agreed to at the public meetings in both towns. Even the members of the Temperance Society intend to celebrate the day.
On Tuesday evening the public ball, in addition to the preceding festivities which will take place in the Town-hall, is expected to be numerously attended.
The guardians of the poor of the Windsor and Eton Unions intend that the inmates of the Union houses shall, on the same happy occasion, be most liberally provided for.
We have received communications from Egham, Staines, Chertsey, Maidenhead, Wycombe, Uxbridge, and other places within our district, which inform us that similar meetings to those in Windsor and Eton for the purpose of relieving the poor, and in other ways celebrating the royal nuptials, have been held, and a desire been manifested by the inhabitants of those places to express in such a manner their loyalty to their sovereign, and their joy at the happy event.

REMINISCENCES OF ROYALTY - We a few days since, had a visit from our ancient townsman, Mr. Snow, who, although he has undergone various vicissitudes of fortune, still retains unimpaired his faculties of mind and body; indeed his memory is so tenacious, that he may be accounted a perfect walking chronicler of the events of the past age, in regard to matters connected with Windsor in particular. This veteran, to use his own words, observed, in reference to the joyful event of the marriage of the Queen:- "It reminds me of my early days, when I had the pleasure of seeing her third grandfather, King George the Second, pass through the gallery at St.James's to a drawing-room, preceded by the Duke of Grafton, then Lord Chamberlain, and I have the most perfect remembrance of his person. I can almost venture to challenge the world that no other person can make a similar boast, not from my very advanced age, having now entered only into my ninety third year, but from the opinion that few had the opportunity that, in those times, I had."

WINDSOR ASSOCIATION DINNER.- The annual meeting for the purpose of auditing the accounts of the society for the past year, and of the members dining together, as is customary, took place on Wednesday last, at the Castle Inn. The society appeared in a flourishing state, and Mr. Cantrell was re-elected treasurer. Upwards of seventy members sat down to dinner, the treasurer, Mr. Cantrell, presiding, and Mr. Field, of Egham, added to the pleasure of the evening by singing some excellent songs. This festival is famed for ending in what many bachanalians denominate a "spree," but on the present occasion, the "spree" was at the commencement instead of the termination of the feast, and "the feast of reason and the flow of soul" were completely forgotten. On the Queen Dowager's health being proposed by the chairman, after that of Her Majesty, Mr. Burge rose and suggested that Prince Albert's should be the second toast : this led to a scene of indescribable confusion, and cries of "support the chair," "down," "down," &c. resounded for a considerable time before Mr. Burge would resume his seat, neither did he do so until the chairman rose to address the company, shortly after which order was restored, and the health of the Queen Dowager was drank. Prince Albert's health was, however, proposed by the chairman, after the Princess Augusta, and the rest of Royal Family, and it was indeed, most heartily received, as were the other loyal toasts that preceded it. Mr. Burge, wishing for an opportunity to explain the cause of his having previously risen to make the proposition he did, sent a note to the chairman requesting his permission to give a toast, with a view of affording him the required opportunity, and, in reply, the chairman informed him that after three more toasts had been delivered, his wish should be gratified. Judge then the astonishment of most of the company, when directly after that number of toasts had been given, the mayor and the Tory members of the Town Council who were present en masse, at the head of the table, abruptly rose, and with the chairman, left, or rather sneaked out of the room by a private door, so handy for their exit, that they had all left before many of the rest of the company had missed them. We believe a liberal or two may have walked out by mistake in their company. However, a greater insult to a company, and to one of the association in particular (Mr. Burge), could not have been offered, for even admitting that that gentleman had, by his anxiety that Prince Albert should not be passed over (which by the bye, we believe he would have been, had not the interruption taken place), risen out of order to propose the toast, still one would have imagined that there was enough of gentlemanly feeling in that part of the company who so loudly assisted in crying Mr. Burge down, to have found in the motive of that gentleman as ample excuse for what he did, instead of taking the earliest opportunity, when they knew he had the chairman's permission to propose a toast, of sneaking out of the room in the very uncourteous manner they did. We have no doubt whatever, that the chairman would have acted on his promise of hearing Mr. Burge, but, unfortunately for the company, and for their comfort and harmony, that gentleman had, by the time fixed upon, other motives and strong ones too, for not continuing longer to preside over the meeting. To him we attach no share of the blame we have thought it necessary to cast upon the parties to which we have already alluded, and we think our opinion coincides with the majority of the company who remained behind, and which comprised persons of all political opinions.

THE WINDSOR SAVINGS BANK.- We have great pleasure in being enabled to state that a reference to the Savings Bank accounts for the past year shows that there are above 100 more depositors of sums under �20 in the past year, than in any year preceding. Indeed, so numerous have the depositors become, that the managers have found it necessary to give directions to enlarge, very considerably, the room for public accommodation.

WINDSOR NATIONAL SCHOOLS.- On reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that the condition of the Windsor National Schools puts forth considerable claims to the aid of the public, and we hope they will receive it. The subscribers will learn with regret that Edward Bovingdon, Esq., the treasurer, whose zeal for the prosperity of the institution was unceasing, has retired from that office, which he has held for many years; and also, that Mr. and Mrs. Robertson, the master and mistress, have removed to another scholastic establishment. The ability and zeal displayed by Mr. and Mrs. R, we are glad to perceive by the report of the committee, have been duly appreciated as they deserve to be. The Schools, to the extent of the instruction afforded, proportionate to the amount of funds, are of the most essential benefit to the children of the poorer classes; but the committee would fain be enabled to extend their sphere of usefulness, and we trust they will be furnished by the public with the means of doing so. The successors of Mr. and Mrs. Robertson, we are informed, have been strongly recommended for their capacity to preside over the instruction of the children committed to their charge.
The sum collected in the parish church of New Windsor, on Sunday morning last, when a sermon was preached for the benefit of the Church Union Society, amounted to about �35.

SUDDEN DEATH.- We regret to announce the sudden death of Mr. Spriggins, one of his Majesty's pages. It appears that on Sunday morning last Mr. Spriggins attended divine service at the parish church of New Windsor, when he appeared in his usual health. After the service he returned to his residence in Clarence-road, and sat down to dinner with his wife and child, but suddenly feeling unwell, he instead of partaking of his meal, retired from the table, and sat in a chair by the fire side. A short time afterwards, Mrs. Sprigings observed a material alteration in his features, and became alarmed, Mr. Brown the surgeon was sent for and speedily attended, but at once pronounced the illness to be fatal. Everything that Mr. Brown's eminent medical skill could suggest was done, but it was in vain, and the unfortunate gentleman, who was only in his 37th year, expired shortly after midnight; the immediate cause of his death being a determination of blood to his head. It is a remarkable fact, that Mr. Judd, the page whom Mr. Sprigings succeeded, died in a similar manner on the 8th of October last, and that now in less than four months from the day of Mr.S's appointment, he has followed his predecessor "to that bourne whence no traveller returns." The deceased, Mr. Sprigings, was a man very generally and deservedly esteemed.

CAUTION.- Last week a person having the appearance of an under gardener, succeeded in obtaining goods from several tradesmen in Windsor, by representing himself as being in the service of respectable family in the neighbourhood. The fellow got clear off, but it is hoped this notice will operate as a caution, and put a stop to his further fraudulent career.

PEDESTRIANISM.- On Tuesday, Slade, the pedestrian, under-took to perform his match of 10 miles in 61 minutes, in the Long Walk, Windsor. It had previously been determined that the match should come off in the Slough road, but the dreadful state of the weather induced all parties to consent to its taking place in the more protected spot to which we have alluded. He started with every prospect of winning, and although the rain was pouring down the whole time, it was believed, until his last run "home," that he would accomplish his task. He, however, lost by about 3 or 4 minutes.

PIGEON SHOOTING.- The members of the Windsor Pigeon Club had a capital days sport (notwithstanding the heavy rain) on Tuesday last, at Spital. The state of the weather prevented many persons, beyond the parties concerned in the match, from attending to witness the sport. Several matches came off, and there was some good shooting. At their conclusion, the parties partook of an excellent dinner at the Star and Garter Inn, the head quarters of the club. On Thursday another match came off, Captain Horsford of the Rifle brigade having undertaken for a wager of �20 to kill 18 birds out of 21, at twenty-one yards distance, but having at the sixteenth bird missed four, it was impossible for him to win, and the gallant captain "surrendered" to his enemy.

THE FLOOD.- The water has fallen considerably since our last publication, but it is still at an alarming height, and many of the roads are still impassable.

OTTERS.- Two young otters were caught on Tuesday last, at Eton Wick, by Charles Emmony, the well-known waterman, who was engaged at that spot in ferrying passengers over the flooded part of the road. They were caught in a net, and Emmony nearly succeeded in securing their mother, who had brought a large pike to feed them with.

AN ADMIRABLE INVENTION.- Miracles will never cease, for we have now an ink-stand supplied by means of an air pump ! Let not our readers be astonished by any imagination against its portability, for it is as small and compact as the common desk inkstand, and what is of infinitely greater importance, it is so contrived that the supply of ink is continuous, without the chance that unpleasant experience in the graphic art, of thickness and mould. It is highly useful, and we strongly recommended its adoption. The public are much indebted to Messrs. Perry & Co. for the invention. It is called the "Patent Perryian Inkstand."

MEETING OF THE TOWN COUNCIL TO ADDRESS
HER MAJESTY AND PRINCE ALBERT.

On Monday, at twelve o'clock, a special meeting of the Town Council of the borough of Windsor was held, in order to address her Majesty and Prince Albert on their approaching marriage. The council was numerously attended, almost every member being present.
The Mayor (W. Berridge, Esq.,) said, that having received a requisition signed by some of the gentlemen present, to call the council together in order to vote addresses of congratulations to her Majesty and his Serene Highness Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg, he had lost no time in complying with their wish, and he hoped some gentlemen were prepared with motions to carry out that object.
Mr. Snowden moved that addresses to her Majesty and his Serene Highness Prince Albert, on occasion of their marriage, be presented from the council. It had always been customary for the Corporation of Windsor to pay this mark of respect on similar occasions, and he had no doubt that the motion would be cordially agreed to [hear].
Mr. Banister said he had great pleasure in seconding the motion, which was then put, and carried unanimously.
Mr. Blunt said, that having been the first member of the Corporation who had signed the requisition to the Mayor, he could not but express his gratification at the manner in which it had been received. He was sure that the Royal union would give great satisfaction in all parts of the country, but in none more than in Windsor, where the inhabitants might truly be said to live under the patronage of Royalty. For this they ought always to feel joyful, but upon no occasion could they feel more so than on the auspicious event of the marriage of the Queen. It was with those feelings that he, and those of his friends who had assisted him, had prepared an address to her Majesty, which he trusted would meet with the cordial approval of the council, and he would request the Town Clerk to read it [hear, hear].
The Town-Clerk then read the address, which was loudly applauded.
Mr. W. Jennings said he had the honour to second the adoption of address, and he did so with feelings of the greatest satisfaction, because it contained sentiments of the most devoted affection and loyalty towards her Majesty [hear, hear].
The address was then unanimously adopted.
Mr. Clarke said he rose with great pleasure to propose an address to his Serene Highness Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg. He felt that a great part of the interest of the subject had been already exhausted by those of his friends who had preceded him. They had had the pleasing duty of agreeing to an address to a Lady, and that he felt assured was much more interesting then the comparatively dry motion he was about to propose. He confessed he laboured under another difficulty, which was, that as yet but little was known publicly in England about Prince Albert; but from what little had been seen of him in this country, he was a person of great amiability, and of great promise [hear, hear]. He had had the pleasure of knowing a gentleman who had seen the Prince abroad, and from what he had learnt, that appeared to the true character of the prince. Mr. Clarke concluded by proposing an address to his Serene Highness [applause].
The Town-Clerk then read the address.
Mr. Griffin said they had all heard the address, that had been proposed by his friend Mr. Clarke, read, and he had great pleasure in seconding the proposition that it be adopted. He was glad that it was proposed, because it occurred to him that, to address her Majesty on so important an occasion, and to omit, at the same time, to address her royal consort on the same occasion, would be something of an anomaly [hear, hear]. As to eulogising the character of the Prince Consort, it would not become him to do so, for he thought that they might take it for granted that he was her Majesty's choice, that was alone a sufficient guarantee for all that could be hoped or expected. He had, therefore, great gratification in seconding the address [hear, hear].
The address was put and carried unanimously.
Mr. Clode (late of the Castle Inn), moved that the Mayor take the necessary steps to insure the presentation of the address to her Majesty and Prince Albert, as soon after their marriage as the royal pair might deem convenient.
Mr. F. Twinch seconded the motion, which was put and carried.

The business relating to the address having terminated.

The Town Clerk announced that Messrs. Paine and Merrick who had been appointed by the Council, overseers for Clewer, to collect the borough-rate, had applied to be excused serving, on the ground of the illness of one, and the infirmity of the other. The Council, after a brief discussion, consented to excuse them, and they appointed Messrs. Stanfield and Dunn in their places.
The Council having passed, on the motion of Mr. Blunt, a vote of thanks to the Mayor for his readiness in attending to the requisition, and for presiding over them that day, they broke up.

CELEBRATION OF HER MAJESTY'S MARRIAGE IN ETON.

On Tuesday evening, pursuant to a requisition of some of the inhabitants addressed to Messrs. Stacey and W.H. Stephenson, overseers of Eton, a public meeting was held at the Christopher Inn, for the purpose of deciding on the best means of celebrating the approaching nuptials of her Majesty.
Mr. Stacey, one of the overseers took the chair, and having read the requisition addressed to him and his colleagues, he said he should be happy to hear what any gentleman had to say upon the subject.
The Rev. Mr. Harper said, although not a parishioner, he should be glad to propose a resolution. The proposed marriage he thought would be agreeable to the country [?], and if anything could promote the welfare of the Sovereign it would, he believed be the approaching union. It had been usual for the members of the College of Eton also to address the Sovereign, and he thought the boys would also agree to an address. The Rev. gentleman concluded by proposing that an address from the inhabitants of the town be presented to her Majesty, and that a committee be appointed to prepare it.
Mr. Atkins seconded the motion, which was adopted unanimously.
Mr. R. Crook moved, that the inhabitants of Eton be invited to have a general illumination on the evening of the auspicious day of the marriage.
Mr. C. Barton seconded the motion, which was carried.
Mr. Burgiss thought that instead of the motion, it would have been better to leave the subject of the illumination to the discretion of the inhabitants themselves, especially as there was to be a subscription to supply the poor with provisions.
Mr. Atkins moved, that the poor inhabitants be supplied with provisions, &c. on the day of the royal marriage.
The Rev. Mr. Harper seconded the motion, and was glad to say that he had been in communication with some of the gentlemen belonging to Eton College, who would be happy to add to the joyful festivities on the occasion.
Mr. Burgiss suggested that a supply of coals to the poor would be very acceptable.
It was generally understood that this subject would be left to the discretion of the committee.
The members forming the committee were then appointed.
Mr. Saunders proposed that each of the inhabitants as were so inclined dine together at some hotel in the in the town, on the day of the marriage.
Mr. Thomas Ingalton seconded the motion which was carried, and it was also agreed on the suggestion of Mr. C. Barton, that the members of the committee be the stewards for the dinner.
Mr. Williams said, that the address when prepared should be submitted to a public meeting, which was agreed to.
Mr. Wilkinson moved, and Mr. Atkins seconded the motion, that the inhabitants be invited to close their shops on the day of the marriage.
It was suggested by some one that the day would in that case partake more of the appearance of a public funeral than a marriage; and it was moved by way of amendment that the inhabitants be invited to do as they please in respect to closing their shops. The amendment was put and carried.
The meeting then broke up, and a subscription was commenced to provide the poor with necessaries on the Royal marriage day.
Last evening another meeting of the inhabitants took place. Mr. Stacey in the chair, for the purpose of receiving the address prepared by the committee, when it was unanimously adopted.

WINDSOR POLICE - THURSDAY.
(Before W. Berridge, Esq. (Mayor), and Robert Blunt, Esq).

Thomas Salt and Jonathan Wingate were brought up for a final examination on the charge of stealing some wine, the property of their employer, Mr. Dash, of the Star and Garter Inn.
The main facts of this case appeared in our paper last week, when we gave an account of their first examination. The evidence being now complete as regarded the prisoner Salt, the magistrates fully committed him for trial. The other prisoner was discharged with a reprimand, but ordered to enter into his own recognizance to appear when required, in case any additional evidence could be obtained against him.
Eliza Hearne, a wretched looking object, but a complete virago, was brought up charged by Mr. Bailey, the relieving officer of the Windsor Union, with an offence under the vagrant act.
The prisoner had been some time ago formally removed from Windsor parish to Egham, which latter was her place of settlement; but she chose to return, and led an abandoned life on the town, and ever now and then claiming support and medical treatment at the Windsor workhouse. This the guardians who had tried every means of reclaiming her refused at last to submit longer to, and resolved that she should be brought before the magistrates.
The magistrates clerk on referring to the vagrant act, read the clause which stated that any person after being passed to his or her parish should return, and seek relief of the parish from which he or she was sent, should for the first offence be sent to hard labour for any time not exceeding one month; for the second offence, not exceeding three months; and for the third offence, to be committed and tied at the sessions, and probably be transported.
The prisoner said she wished she was transported, she complained of ill-treatment in the workhouse, and wished she could get hold of the master, for she would "tear his eyes out."
The magistrates committed her to the borough gaol for 14 days.

ETON POLICE.- MONDAY.

Charles Moles and William Johnson were taken before the Rev. Thomas Carter for re-examination on the charge of stealing a copper, the property of Mr. Sullivan, of Riching Lodge. The evidence not being conclusive against the prisoners, they were discharged.
Mr. Deverill, who keeps a beer-shop at Langley, appeared before R. Harvey, Esq., and M. Swabey, Esq., to an information charging him with suffering cards to be played in his house contrary to the statute. The case was proved, and the magistrates convicted the defendant in the penalty of �2 and costs.
Mr. C.S. Voules applied to the bench on behalf of some workmen late in the employ of Messrs. Cooper, millwrights, of Slough, who had become bankrupt, to compel payment of their wages, which had been withheld from them. After some conversation the magistrates requested Mr. Voules to make an application to the official assignee on the subject, and if he failed in obtaining payment of the men's wages, he could renew his application on another day.

MAIDENHEAD, SATURDAY, February 8.
THE QUEEN v. THE JUSTICES OF MAIDENHEAD.

Yesterday week, the case of the Queen v. the Justices of the Borough came on for hearing in the Court of Queen's Bench. The following is a report of the proceedings :-
Sir W. Follett (with whom were Mr. Busby and Mr. Phillimore) shewed cause against a rule Nisi, for a criminal information against Sir John Phillimore, K.C.B., and Richard Goolden, Esq., two of her Majesty's Justices for the peace for the Borough of Maidenhead, and which Mr. Thesiger had obtained, during the last term, of Mr. Justice Littledale in the Bail Court.
The learned counsel proceeded to refer to the facts of this case, which arose out of an investigation before the above magistrates of an assault committed by the Tollgate-keeper at Maidenhead Bridge, upon the passengers in an omnibus plying from the Railway station to Marlow. It appeared that on the occasion in question, a dispute about the toll arose between the driver of the omnibus and the gate-keeper, which ended in the gate-keeper dashing the gate against the omnibus, and upsetting it; the horses galloping off with detached portions of the broken vehicle, and the rest lying shivered on the ground. Two gentlemen, Mr. Nimmo, and Mr. Grant, who were among the passengers at the time, were of the number most seriously hurt, and were taken up nearly senseless, and conveyed to Maidenhead, the one to the Bear Inn, and the other to the house of Mr. Goolden, who was some distant connexion of his, by marriage. When these gentlemen were sufficiently recovered from their injuries, they resolved to punish the author of their disasters, and caused the delinquent toll-keeper to be summoned before the magistrates for the assault, who, after hearing the testimony of Mr. Grant, corroborated, by the evidence of Mr. Nimmo, convicted the man in the full penalty for the assault in Mr. Grant's case. Mr. Nimmo then stated that, in consequence of the inadequacy of the punishment, and the man's hardened behaviour, and his whole conduct at the hearing, and his avowed determination to act in the same way upon any future occasion, he (Mr. Nimmo) thought it was a duty he owed the public to prefer a second charge against him, in his own case, in order that he might be fully aware of the sense in which he viewed his conduct. The like evidence was gone into, in the man's presence, upon this second charge, and he was further convicted in a similar penalty. From the affidavits which he should read to the court (seven in number), it would appear that this part of the proceedings had been so artfully coloured, and appearances so perverted in the affidavits in support of the rule, as to induce the learned judge, although not without much hesitation, reluctantly to grant the rule. He should, however, shew that the whole of the allegations were unfounded in fact, that there was not a single charge but was either flatly contradicted in terms, or else wholly explained in meaning, that -
Mr. Thesiger here rose, and said that he would spare his learned friend from the further detail of these circumstances. He was ready to admit his inability to sustain the rule. He was anxious to confess that the affidavits had been most fully and completely answered, and that from the totally different complexion which had now been given to the whole proceeding, he was bound to state to the court, that not even a the shadow of an imputation rested on the conduct of the magistrates, who appeared to have acted in the most praiseworthy manner throughout, but, that the charges made against those gentlemen must have originated in the greatest delusion and error. He would, therefore, consent to the rule being dis- with costs.
Sir. W. Follett - With an undertaking for their payment. Howell is a pauper, and his master must be responsible for this, as for the rest.
Mr. Thesiger consented to this.
The court ordered the rule to be discharged accordingly, with costs.

UXBRIDGE, SATURDAY, February 8.

Last week, a respectably dressed person went into the George Inn, in this town, and ordered some refreshments and a bed, and on the landlord enquiring whether he had any luggage, he was told that it would not arrive till the next morning, and the gentleman sat down to his supper and wine with great apparent relish, and after enjoying that gentle promoter of digestion, the Indian weed, he retired to bed, and desired the chambermaid to call him at eight o'clock the following morning, at which time he got up and ordered breakfast, and before he had finished that meal, to which he did ample justice, he requested to know what he could have for dinner, and decided on having some soup and a rumpsteak at half past one precisely; after ordering which, he with great nonchalance left the house, and was walking briskly off, as if really engaged in some more honourable pursuit than bilking the landlord, but it was no go, for the worthy host in his usual very polite way, stepped gently before him, and presenting his bill requested that it may be settled before dinner time, as he feared that the meal might be postponed to a very late hour, when the gentleman bounced a good deal, and said he meant to come back, &c.; but mine host being incredulous detained him, and gave him in charge of a constable, for obtaining his goods, under false pretences, when the usual swindling defence was resorted to (by the fellow, who gave the name of Hughes, but refused to state where he came from, or any other particulars), that the magistrates had no power to adjudicate, as it was merely a simple debt, but the worships told the bilk that they were very much inclined to commit him, on the charge of obtaining Mr. Money's things without any means of paying for them : and the magistrates at the same time told Mr. Money, that in similar cases where parties refused to pay their bill, that the landlord would be justified in taking their hat, coat, or any other garment for the amount of the bill. Mr. Money said he was not aware that he could do so, but as it appeared to be legal, he should do so now, and taking the defendant's hat at the same moment, declared that he should keep it till his bill was paid. Mr. Hughes being unable to carry on the war in the vistimising way without a hat, soon found means to settle the matter, by leaving with Mr. Money a gold breast pin for the amount of the bill, when he was allowed to walk off minus his pin.
The hen-house of - Valder, Esq. of Hayes, was broken into a few nights since, eight hens, a cock, and a number of ducks were stolen therefrom. Several suspected places were searched, and in one a quantity of feathers were found; but unfortunately, the circumstances of the case were not sufficient to enable the police to prove the theft. Several similar depredations have been recently committed, and it is hoped that speedy justice will soon overtake the guilty parties.
POOR-RATES.- On Wednesday the magistrates, T. Dagnall, T.T. Clark, sen. and T.T. Clark, jun.Esqrs., were occupied a considerable time in hearing applications by many poor persons within the Uxbridge division, to be relieved from poor rates. One poor widow claimed exemption on the ground that, although she had nothing from the parish, she contrived to obtain a trifle by washing, and that would not afford her and her children support were it not for the charitable disposition of Lady Elizabeth Pole, and others, and her being allowed a house to live in, rent free, by Mr. De Burgh, in whose service her late husband had been whipper-in, and had been killed while out with the hounds. Ultimately, Mr. Pole, the brother of Lady Pole, kindly paid the rate for the poor widow.

HIGH WYCOMBE, SATURDAY, February 8.

VOLUNTARY PRINCIPLE.- On Tuesday evening week, the friends of Ebenezer Chapel (Independent), held a tea meeting in the Town-hall, in aid of their building fund, when upwards of 350 sat down in the spacious hall which was tastefully decorated with evergreens, flowers, banners, and flags, bearing the mottos "Victoria" "Long live the Queen" &c. Upwards of twenty ladies furnished their own tables, which were amply supplied with tea, coffee, cake, &c. and too much praise cannot be given to them for their kind services. After the tables were cleared, the Rev. John Hayden took the chair, and gave a statement of the Finances; he stated that the sum of �244 had already been subscribed, he then informed the company that he had received the sum of �6. 14s from various friends, and in addition would add �5. for himself ; a single lady in the centre of the hall, said she would do the same, which immediately induced others to offer various sums; the chairman then said that if the amount reached �45 he would make it �50. This challenge was immediately met, and the amount subscribed. A friend (a married man), connected with the Wesleyan society, said that if any Batchelor would give �5, he would give 50s., which offer was soon cheerfully responded too. The amount from the sale of the tickets and subscriptions at the close of the meeting amounted to �77.The friends of Crendon Lane (Independent) meeting, and the Wesleyan Chapel, were by no means backward in coming forward, but very kindly did their utmost to serve the cause, and their zeal was proved in-deed. We are pleased to see such a friendly spirit amongst the Dissenters in this town, and the proceeds of this meeting show that "It is well for brethren to dwell together in unity."
